Expert Opinion

Reports consistently describe unsolicited calls from this number as intrusive and deceptive, often involving delayed connections or no response on the line. Several accounts highlight attempts to solicit personal details under false pretences, such as housing disrepair claims or bogus government grants for insulation, alongside impersonation of BT services. These patterns suggest scam tactics designed to extract sensitive information like bank details. Callers appear to use spoofed numbers, possibly routed through VOIP, making them hard to trace. To protect privacy, always verify unsolicited claims independently via official channels; never share details over the phone. Blocking the number is advisable, and reporting to authorities like Action Fraud can help curb such nuisances. Enable call screening features on your device for added security.

Some curry-munching caller claimed it was about my BT Internet service. We don't use BT, so it's pure deceit. I gave her a proper Anglo-Saxon send-off to 'do one' and blocked. Dialling back shows the number doesn't exist—spoofed, likely VOIP from India. Until the UK telecom stops allowing number spoofing, these lowlife fraudsters will keep targeting folks. Baffling how the government can't sort this... oh wait, they mess up everything these days!!!

Watch out, the caller knew my full name and address. They mentioned a government scheme for home insulation. After sharing minimal details, they disconnected.

Rang multiple occasions without leaving voicemails; I've now blocked it.

442887079303 Scam

Rang three times – first two picks up with endless silence, no one there. Third time, automated bit about 'serious housing disrepair issues'. As a housing lawyer, I know we can't cold call under SRA rules. My place is fine anyway.

442887079303 Spam

No acquaintances in Dungannon, Ireland, so almost certainly spam; I ignored the call.
